WHAT is the Government going to
do about Junius Kaae? We are well
aware that the Hawaiian Government
is corrupt from top to bottom, we have
shown IN these columns some of the
foul depths to which it has gone, but
up to the present it has had the de-
cency to try and veil its corruption.
Junius Kaae however, has been pub
licly charged with crime along with
the King. There has been only one
thing to do, and that was to bring the
GAZETTE before the Courts. This has
not been done and our charges re-
main unanswered and unanswerable.
How then can such manbe retained
in his position of Registrar Of Con
veyances? With such a record as has
been published about him, Junius
Kaae could not obtain the post of
cashier of peanut stand. His integ
rity has been shown to be worthless,
and yet he draws a magnificent salary
and has charge of some of the most
valuable documents in the Kingdom.
We have thieves in our navy, men of
no character in our Ministry, bride
receiver on the throne. All this is bad
enough, and bad III such form that in
short time it must be righted, one
way OF another, but to retain Kaae in
such responsible position is out
Heroding Herod The man ought to
have his conduct investigated in open
court, and if he is guilty, should suffer
the full penalty of his evil dong.
Until he is cleared he should be sus-
pended from his duties, and the valu-
able books and papers which he has
in his charge, should be put under the
care of some one who has not so black
a cloud hanging over his character.
Any man with keen sense of honor
would have called for public investi-
cation long ago, but the Hawaiian
Cabinet has no sense of honor what
ever, and is willing to be smeared with
i'll deeds from head to foot, to connive
at any rascality in others, so long as
it can retain office and fill its pockets
out Of the public treasury. Every
member of the Government stands
disgraced at the present time, and
there is not a foreign Office in the
world that will not, in few weeks. be
fully acquainted with the details of
the opium bride. 1t will add greatly
to the force of the documents and aft
davits when it is known that one of
the prime movers in the transaction
still remains Registrar of Convey
ances, and is presumably as much for
sale for nefarious purposes in this re-
sponsible position as he has been dur
ing the engineering of the opium
bride.

The latest news from Europe shows
that the feeling between Germany
and France is by no means quoting
down, that in spite Of pacific mes
sages between the heads of the two
jealous nations, there is a strong I'M
der current of feeling among the peo-
pie at large, which is decidedly hos
tile, and which shows itself along the
whole Of the Alsace-Lorraine frontier.
This feeling shows itself in insult and
disorder, as it did the other day at
Belfort, when a number of German
excursionists were mobbed and i'll
treated. It is quite possibility that
whatever may be the feeling of those
at the head of the French Govern
ment. with regard to a war, it may be
found impossible to restrain the peo-
pie and that war be precipitated, be-
coming not a war of calculation, but
popular outburst of revenge.
There has, during the last two
months, been an opinion gaining
ground that war was not likely to oc
cur, that the angry passions had been
somewhat soothed, but the affair at
Belfort and the intrigues and conspi-
racies going on in Alsace-Loraine,
show that the irritation is constant
and that at any moment the smould-
ering fire may burst into blaze

TIE ridiculous statement put forth
that the native Hawaiians pay the bulk
of the taxes is very easilyrefuted from
the table relied on by the Govern
ment.
The total taxation in 1881 was $685.
35649; Of this sum, native Hawaiians
paid S124,0S1.43, while other nation
alities paid S25S, 275.O6. The natural
lied Hawaiians are foreigners, and
even of native born Hawaiians many
are the children of foreign parents.

The Bulletin represents the state of
things az the Reformatory School as
being disgraceful. Its charges are
formulated with precision and the
editor holds himself ready to support
his statements. The Board of Educa-
ton in the past, used to deal promptly
with wrong-doers. If what the Bu5-
5etia charges can be thoroughly sub
stantiated, and we have little doubt
that it can, very prompt action should
be taken. However, like master, like
man. and the heads of the Govern
ment being so stepped in rascality, it
is no wonder that minor lights follow
suit according to their own peculiar
bent, nor IS 1t likely that they will see
any wrong in a public institution like
the Reformatory School, being con
Quoted on the basis it is at present.

One Who Speaks Out.

HONOLULU, June 6. 1887.
Ed. GAZETTE After doing business in
this country upwards of thirty-six years, and
assisting, as we have, in building it up. we
have been grossly insulted by the meanest
and wickedest Government in Gods creation.
The seizure of three Bullock rifles, with ]. 900
cartridges, ex Australia afterwards deliv-
cred up by the police when we had COM
menced suit. The lawful entry had been
previously passed. The cause of doing it
was the guilty conscience and the great
fright the Government are in for their pub
lished evil deeds, which, through free press,
is known TO all the taxpayers on the Islands,
whoare now seeking redress from the Home
Governments, and sooner or later we will
have it, for We will not be robbed with I'M
punity. Cato in your last spoke out

not the least doubt we, shall obtain it. Hence
our patience, with my fellow sufferers.
Ny gracious, what has the country come
to? Look at the Kings steal of 81, 900 by
false promise of an opium license. A sister
swindle of $780, 00-having secured this
amount as bride from another taxpayer.
The King and Gibson must be made re-
sponsible to some power, although they tell
us the King is above law. They have vio-
lated the law of the land, contrary to the
Constitution. and this at the expense of their
sacred oaths, in their land-grabbing scheme.
We must, and will, have redress and nothing
short of new Constitution, with recon-
struction of the Government, will satisfy the
robbed nation of taxpayers.
Within month we expect both an English
and American man-of-war in our harbor.

So the public are to be brought zen
rapport" with the Government of Ha-
waii by means of Government paper,
which is to satisfy everybody since it
has special sources of information. As
it possesses these it may as well take
up its mission at once and explain
that little land transaction which was
referred to in these columns last week,
and in which, from a public record it
was conclusively shown that the King
and his Minister, w. W. Gibson. en-
tered into an Illegal contract, defying
the express letter of the law which
both are sworn to uphold. and have
therefore, periured themselves. The
special sources of information might
also be laid under contribution for an
explanation of the bride given to the
King in connection with the opium
license. It would very much tend to-
wards ''cultlvating a friendly feeling"
if these little matters were satisfacto-
rily explained.

An envoy abroad is supposed to be

An envoy abroad is supposed to be
at least decently polite to the people
with whom he comes in contact, and
to behave himself like a gentleman.
It does not seem, however, that Min
lister Bush, at Samoa, has any idea Of
what his duties in this respect are.
From letters which have been received
by the Alameda, we learn that Bush
has gone out Of his way to gratuit-
ously insult the German residents in
Samoa. At the International Hotel
he is reported to have stigmatized
them as a boorish set, slaves of their
system government and q nation of
towards, and with that keen eye for
reading the future which is SO remark
able in Hawaiian statesmen he an
nounced that the next war would see
Germany beaten and withdrawing in
dismay.
OF course, if the Hawaiian Envoy
fills himself with the champagne and
square face gin that he is so bounti-
fully supplied with by a paternal gov
eminent, out Of the pockets of the Ha
waiian taxpayers, there can be no
wonder that he makes himself gener-
ally obnoxious to all decent people,
and the idle yaporings of such a man
would not be worth attending to, were
he not in the position he is. Besides
insulting Germans at large, Mr.. Bush
has been building upon other peoples
property and has got into a squabble
about boundaries.
The whole conduct OF the so-called
Samoan mission is evidently not cal
culated to increase the respect for Ha-
waii, and the sooner it is recalled the
better. AS a country we are being
disgraced, and are likely to be EN-
broiled in some stuped quarrel, which
will entail additional expense on the
Hawaiian taxpayer
When that precious cargo of thieves
and vagabonds on board the Kaimiloa
reach Samoa, they will form a fitting
denouement to the opening piece
which has been played by the Hawai-
ian Embassy. And it is for such things
tat the Hawaiian taxes are squan-
dered, while works of paramount i'm
portance are neglected, to the great
detriment of the wage earners and
business people of the Islands. A full
stop must be put to the whole matter.
We are the laughing stock of the Pa
cifc now, and we shall soon be pointed
at as the frightful example.

Ohia Wood.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-Since reading Mr..
Meyers communication in your paper re-
garding the durability of Oahia timber, l
have been promted to send you my expert
ence, which though not extensive, has so far
been more fortunate than his. There are
believe several kinds of Ohia; know of two
and they are quite opposite in character-one
kind white and soft, the other deep red and
hard, and blackens with age; the latter is
most plentiful In this district. Four years
ago, put down some two inch planking of
this under circular saw-much out of doors
and 1t has been covered with soil and saw
dust ever since, and has never been dry from
that day to this, to-day examined it, and
1t is sound as the day 1t was put there-the
saw marks are still on it, nor is there any
signs of rot. also use it entire for gates on
my place, and have large ones to my driving
pens, the sills Embedded in soil which is
nearly always wet and muddy. They have
been put up more than four years, and show
no signs of decay, and shall be much dis
appointed if | am obliged to remove them
for the next fifteen years.
The last few days, have been engaged in
saving logs into timbers for wharf, which

and as things go now, those are quail
ties which mark men as belonging to
the highest of ranks in Hawaii. But
as for the question. who's afraidi"
why, there can be only one answer,
and that is the King and Government.
The palace would not be surrounded
with guards as it is; merchants would
not have their goods searched for
arms. nor would certain prominent
personages be seeking a fresh bed
every night; unless there was some
cause for fear. The Government has
been so villainously conducted, there
have been so many rascalities openly
perpetrated that the perpetrators are
squarely alarmed at their own work,
and their own evil consciences con
jure up revengeful Cinnamon at every
street corner and in the shadow of
every tree It is not a pleasant posi-
ton to have got into. It would be far
more pleasant to find a regular pill
low than to be seeking a bed in secret
places, night after night. Truly the
way of the transgressor is hard" and
the King and Government are begin
ming to find it so. As time goes on
the path may grow harder still
The Hawaiian gazette., 1887-06-07

The letters Of Mr.. Meyers, DR.. Hyde
and Mr. j. T. Waterhouse. which have
appeared in these columns, show how
thoroughly aroused the taxpayers and
respectable men of this community
are, and how determined they are that
the present regime Of rascality, knayery
and debauchery should be brought to
an end.
These letters and others which have
appeared in the columns of our con
temporaries speak in no uncertain
tone. Men are speaking out plainly
In every part of the country, and they
are prepared to support their opinions
in whatever way they may be called
upon.
The country has been ruled so vii
lainously, the people have been so
Systematically plundered and insulted
that they have made up their minds
to endure no longer. The day of
grace has long since passed and it is
now patent fact that the rulers of
this nation are utterly unfit for the
positions that they hold; unfit, not
through lack of ability, but unfit be-
cause they have been proved at the
bar of public opinion to be venal and
perjured; from the throne downwards,
with very few honorable exceptions,
the whole machinery of government
is rotten, corrupt and filthy, and the
sooner an end is made Of it the better

The action of the Government in
searching the goods of our prominent
merchants for arms and ammunition,
is as ridiculous as it is childish. What
end did these men in power propose
to themselves? What object did they
hope to secure by their action? They
had no right to stop the arms, which
were being introduced for a purely
Business purpose, and which were go
ing to be used for legitimate amuse-
ment. a very small mole-hilI has, by
the Government people, been made to
assume the very tolerable proportions
of an average mountain.
The result, of course, has been to
make people think that the Govern
ment are really alarmed, that their
long course of wrong-doing has
brought about its logical result, and
that the officials are fairly afraid of
their own shadows.
There was no concealment about
bringing in the half dozen or so of
rifles, the revenue laws were not in
fringed in any way, and there is no
law to prevent their importation. To
refuse to deliver the goods, and put
merchants to the expense of suing for
them under writ of repleYin, is
distinct hardship upon those mer-
chants, and one which they ought to
find redress for from their diplomatic
representatives.
1t is quite time that the Govern
ment Of the Hawaiian Islands should
be taught the lesson that it cannot
afford to play any high handed game.
Illegality after illegality is being com
mitted, and the people are themselves
to blame if they tamely submit. 1t
takes a long time for great States to
move when their toes are trodden on,
or any of their subjects are unjustly
treated, but they do move and move
to some purpose when once they get
started.
1t has come with special i'll grace

The Government Comic Paper has
some very funny things in it, and an
audible grin arose from those who
read the following lines:
"Ihe King and his people are animated
with a strong national hope and purpose that
the free spirit of America impaired to Hawaii
will lead her along a pathway OF national
progress, and secure the permanent indie
pepdence of her people under the freest of
Institutions an able and patriotic ruler and
a form of government sanctioned by the Ma
tional Constitution and beloved by the entire
Hawaiian nation"
The desire to follow in the footsteps
of the Great Republic is a thoroughly
laudable one, and all men DESTROYS of
clean government will applaud. If
we remember correctly, the example
the Great Republic sets when it has
to deal with rogUes is to put them be-
hind prison bars. Tweed and the
Tammany Ring asked the people of
the State what they were going to
do about it?" and=the result was
residence in Sing Sing. The Doodle
Aldermen with Jaehne at their head
got a like answer. We agree that the
same free spirit of American pro-
gress" might be advantageously fol
lowed out here, and that Hawaiian
boodlers be treated after the fashion
of their American brethren. Quite
right gentlemen, let US have "a patri-
otto ruler and a form of government
sanctioned by the National Constitu-
tion," and let US begin by furnishing
some of the scalawags right away.

IT is very pretty to say that strict
orders have been given Captain Jack
son not to permit liquor on board the
man-of-war Kaimiloa. The night be-
fore she left a perfect orgy was held
on board, and the Lieutenant of Ma
rines was down among the crew, drink
ing and fighting. The Kaimiloa is a
miniature sketch of the Hawaiian
Kingdom.
There are laws enough to keep the
country straight, the trouble is the
highest officials openly defy them.
We have law against bribery, and
yet bribery of the most fragrant char
acter takes place. We have laws for
making a Minister spend the public
funds for the purposes voted and for
no other, but they have not prevented
the Minister of Interior certifying
that the the extension of Queen street
has been completed, and drawing the
money out of the treasury, for heaven
knows what purpose, when, as fact,
not stroke of work has been done on
the street and the money has been OBJ
tanned under false pretences.
Orders there may be on paper, for
the proper management of the Kaimi-
loa, but the charge of the vessel has
not been given to those who are likely
to pay much attention to the direct
ions, nor is an example set them here
of obedience to any law or morality.
The burlesque of the Kaimiloa pre-
sented by the Minstrels on Saturday
night, had far more truth than poetry
in it. No amount of official publica-
ton can wipe out the record which
the captain, officers and crew of that
useless vessel made for themselves
before they started for other climes.
